Xavi's side suffered a 2-1 defeat at Rayo Vallecano last Thursday and recorded goalless draws against Girona and Getafe which sandwiched the 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid. Nevertheless, it was enough for the Blaugrana to maintain a healthy lead over Real Madrid in second.
Whereas sixth-placed Real Betis, who come into the match on the back of a five-game winless run after a goalless draw against Real Sociedad, are currently nine points behind fourth-placed Real Sociedad but have a game, with fifth-placed Villarreal just a point above.

Ousmane Dembele and Andreas Christensen are named in the squad for this one, though they may start on the bench.
Sergio Busquets is back from suspension, while Sergi Roberto is out with a hamstring issue.
Busquets' return in the middle calls for Gavi to start up front, as Pedri is also fit to start alongside Frenkie de Jong.
With Jordi Alba at left-back, Alejandro Balde would need to switch to right-back.

Victor Ruiz, Juanmi, Youssouf Sabaly and Nabil Fekir all set to be unavailable, and Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini is expected to restore Luiz Henrique and Borja Iglesias back into the XI for the Barca trip.
The changes in the XI could bring about some alterations in the positions as well, with William Carvalho dropping deeper in midfield and Ayoze Perez moving on to the right flank to allow Iglesias to push through the middle.
